Unread post by wuxmedia » Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:37 pm

Recipe: MATE 1.6

Chef: Wuxmedia

DE/WM: MATE

Difficulty: *

Preparation time: 10 mins.

Purpose: How to upgrade to 1.6 from 1.4...

Starting point: LinuxBBQ Argentina78 (or any base BBQ install, you'll need to add the mate repos)

Instructions:

Code: Select all

purge mate-media-gstreamer
upd
ins mate-archive-keyring
upd
ins mate-desktop-environment
upd
Notes:
  • your custom panel will be lost, probably your wallpaper will change.
  • compiz doesn't work too well with it, at all (windecs actually work this time, but minimize-maximise-close buttons jump around, yet the activation is in the same place.
  • Marco is however - very quick and a compositor.
  • bug - seems 'appearance manager' enjoys continual 99% CPU usage, even when the app is closed 8(
  • This Forum post advises removal of mate-media-gstreamer.
    I completely ignored it, seems to work anyway i'm an idiot no sound in skype - edited.
